Assad forces hit Raqqa by Scud missile, kill 35

A Scud missile stormed al-Raqqa city east Syria, killing 35 people at least and wounding dozens, activists said.

The long-range and destructive missile was fired from '3rd Division', Assad's Scud big arsenal in Qalamoun Hill.

UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported only 6 civilians were killed and more than 30 injured by the surface-to-surface missile launched by the regime forces, after midnight, on the 23rd of February street in Raqqah city. The dead include 2 women.

An estimated 120,000 people have been killed and millions displaced by Syria's civil war, which erupted after a fierce government crackdown on pro-democracy protests first held in March 2011.
